FANS of Robbie Williams spoke of their fury yesterday after losing out on tickets to see him following a huge ballot fiasco.

The Record told yesterday how thousands of fans who entered the ballot to buy tickets for the former Take That star’s intimate Scottish show on September 12 were offered the chance to see a much larger concert at the O2 in Dublin instead.

Irish fans received emails offering tickets for the gig at Glasgow’s Barrowland but the difference in the size of the two venues made a straight swap impossible.

The mix-up resulted in Ticketmaster voiding the ballot and holding a new one.

And yesterday thousands of Scottish fans were disappointed for a second time when they received emails apologising for the error but confirming they weren’t getting tickets for Glasgow.

Among the followers left fuming were Glasgow pair Sharon McSevney and Fiona McGrain.

Sharon said: “We’ve travelled to see Robbie in places such as Manchester and Dublin before, so we had signed up to the fan club and had got the email about the Barrowland concert.

“We both got emails saying we’d got tickets for Dublin. Then we got another email saying it was a mistake and they were going to re-draw the ballot and we should keep an eye on our emails.

“At about 11pm on Tuesday, I got an email saying we’d been unlucky.

“The venue in Dublin holds 26,000 people but Barrowland only holds around 1900, so the chance of getting a ticket for Glasgow was always really slim.

“We’d have considered travelling to Dublin for the concert but now we don’t have that opportunity.

“To be told you’d got tickets only to have them snatched away is crazy.”

Williams announced last month he’d be playing four low-key shows in Leeds, Glasgow, Dublin and Southend ahead of the release of his new solo album, Take The Crown, in November.

More than 500,000 fans applied for tickets but only the Glasgow and Dublin shows were affected by the ballot mix-up.

As fans woke up to emails yesterday confirming they’d been unlucky, many took to the singer’s official site to vent their anger.

A spokesman for Ticketmaster said: “All customers were contacted and informed of the situation regarding the Robbie Williams ballots for Glasgow and Dublin. By the end of Tuesday, all customers had been informed whether they had been successful.”
